A deconvolution algorithm to achieve super-resolution stimulated Raman scattering imaging

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has the capability to simultaneously visualize the spatial distribution of different biomolecules, but it remains challenging to reach super-resolution. To achieve this goal, a deconvolution algorithm, A-PoD, was developed and combined with SRS microscopy, enabling examination of nanoscopic biomolecular distribution and subcellular metabolic activity in cells and tissues.
